  Paleobotany - Ancient Plants:...

  Paleobotany, the study of ancient plant life through fossils, plays a crucial role in reconstructing Earth's biological and environmental past. By analyzing preserved plant remains, scientists gain insight into the evolution of vegetation, past climates, and the ecological relationships that shaped life on Earth. Understanding these ancient plants not only helps in tracing the origins of modern flora but also provides valuable information about environmental changes over millions of years. 
  One of the primary reasons paleobotany is important is its role in uncovering the history of plant evolution. The earliest forms of plant life date back to over a billion years ago, and through fossil evidence, scientists have traced the development of algae, mosses, ferns, gymnosperms, and eventually angiosperms. This evolutionary timeline reveals how plants adapted to changing environments, from the first aquatic organisms to the dominant terrestrial vegetation that defines modern ecosystems. Fossilized spores, leaves, wood, and pollen provide clues about how plants diversified and spread across different geological periods, allowing researchers to piece together a comprehensive picture of life on Earth.

  Health-care providers and their patients are human, and all humans have unconscious biases that affect how we listen, observe, and act. Bias impacts patients when they are at their most vulnerable. Health-care bias can mean the difference not just between suffering and relief, but between life and death. 
   
   
   
  For the first time, an author with the unique perspective of being one of America's top doctors, a woman, and Black, candidly addresses the issue of bias in health care, sharing personal and patient stories and pragmatic solutions. Dr. Angela Marshall, repeatedly named a "Top Doctor" by Washingtonian magazine, draws on extensive research, poignant stories from some of the thousands of patients she has treated, and her own compelling personal experience, to examine the bias from both patients' and health-care providers' points of view. She offers a bold blueprint for change, filled with fresh solutions that can help everyone in our health-care system. 
   
   
   
  Dismissed not only explains what so many people feel so profoundly—that the system is working against them. It also reveals what health-care practitioners, patients, and society in general can do to make it right.

  Extreme Weather Events - The...

  Texas is a land of extremes. From the dry deserts of the Trans-Pecos to the humid Gulf Coast, from the rolling Hill Country to the flat prairies, no state in America faces such a wide spectrum of natural fury. The very size and diversity of Texas mean that when disaster comes, it comes in many forms, hurricanes that drown entire cities, flash floods that sweep away homes in the night, tornadoes that reduce downtowns to rubble, droughts that starve farms for years, and even man-made catastrophes born of fire, gas, and explosives. 
  In no other place is the saying “everything’s bigger in Texas” truer, or more tragic. Disasters here are not just local events. They ripple outward, changing laws, inspiring massive engineering feats, and reshaping the way communities think about safety, survival, and resilience. The Galveston Hurricane of 1900, the drought of the 1950s, Hurricane Harvey in 2017, and the Kerrville floods of 2025—each stands not only as a story of loss, but also as a turning point in Texas history. 
   
  Welcome to The Hidden History of Texas – Extreme Weather Events!
